We have a fantastic riverside
location at 586 Canning Highway, Alfred Cove, Perth, Western Australia
on the corner of North Lake Road (opposite KFC) - Atwell is run by
Melville Community
Arts
Association (Inc),
The MCAA has over 600 members
aged from 4 to 94, 50-60% from
the City of Melville and the rest from the Perth/Fremantle metropolitan area
with a few from WA regional areas, interstate and even 1 or 2 from overseas.
Some of our members have been coming to Atwell House since the MCAA was
incorporated in 1978.
Atwell Gallery hours are 10am - 4pm Mon - Sat,
1 - 4pm Sunday
and the Arts Centre office is open Monday - Friday, 9am to 4pm.
As well as having an exciting
gallery programme, we run day, evening and weekend
art
classes for adults and children and have a variety of arts and craft groups
that meet at our centre (including South of the River Potters, Atwell House
Spinners, Alfred Cove Art Society). We organise
Life Drawing sessions
the first two Sundays of each month
(9am-12noon) and Portraiture sessions on Monday afternoons (3:30-6:30pm). We also have an "open house" every Friday - if
you are an artist, come
along and join in, if not drop in anyway and see artists at work.
Plenty of free parking!

In 2002 Atwell Gallery had an exhibition
by 4 Singaporean artists. One of them,
Mr Tan Leong Kheng, sat in the carpark and painted the outside of the Arts Centre and Gallery and then
donated his work to us - see below |
